Secretary Lamar fully concurs In the
opinion of the Attorney General recently
published. in which he laid down the law
as TO the rights of the several parties in
the case of the North ern Pacific railroads
against Gulford Miller. Secretary Lamsr
IN his decision OF the case follows the
law as enunciated by the AttorneyGenera
and which was favorable to the railroads.
1t is q matter worthy OF note, that in a
rough draft, Secretary Lamar, on the
questions OF law involved, had written a
decision in this case, which reached ex-
actly the same conclusion as that arrived
at by Attorney General Garland. The
papers which have been calling the At
torney General hirelIng of the great
railrGd corporations, on account OF his
opinion in this case, will now. perhaps,
make him a suitable apology-that IS il
they do not desire to do the ATTORNEY
General an injustice.

Lord Lsnsdowne, Governor General of
Canada, is being violently attacked by
the Montreal Post. The Post says that
Lord Lansdowne lives in luxurious idle
ness at the cost of 100000 year, paid
by the mass OF toiling fools who go by the
name ofthe Canadian people," The Post,
which is an Irish organ, Is incensed
against Lord Lansdowne because he he's
evicted some OF his tenants in Queens
county, Ireland. The Canadian govern
ment intends to prosecute the Post, but
the prosecution will only serve to unite
the Irish in Cansda more firmly. A day
of wrath is coming Tor England because
OF her treatment OF Ireland, and the Irish
in Canada will aid TO hasten It.
